Personal Cooking Systems

Jetboil hooked us up with these compact, all-in-one cooking systems. They’ll come in handy for making coca tea to stave off altitude sickness in the Peruvian Andes, and in boiling water so we don’t get the runs!

Tents

Johnson Outdoors owns Eureka! tents and has provided us with pretty much the coolest tents we’ll ever sleep in.

Schwalbe

http://www.schwalbe.com

Tires

Schwalbe makes the best touring tires out there. I’m pretty sure they’re bullet proof, but I hope we don’t find out.

Seal Skinz

http://www.danlco.com

Our friends from Seal Skinz gave us waterproof gloves and socks that save our hands and feet from the biting cold and wrinkly skin. Who wants wrinkly skin anyway?

Suunto provided us with a way to tell just how high up in the Andes we are, when a storm is coming our way, and oh yeah…what time it is. They make top-of-the-line watches and wrist GPS/altimeter/barometers.

Victorinox

Multitools

If their multitools are anything like their pocketknives, we’ll be in great shape!
